Yeah, it's hard to know based on the balance and any infleuncers and internet types like romano thinking they know what will be wanted is just guessing. Slot is meant to want fast first touch passing and width plus plays a back 4 but it's very hard to say if he's going to walk in and declare he wants his system or no style or adapts to the country and pampers available. In the end he's clearly already feeling the pressure but we will see. Coming in a week earlier and just having players too **** to be in internationals or kids is all well.and good but we will see what good comes.of it. You'd hope they get that youth development coach sorted but it really should be someone from the academy as a promotiion
I agree with you, it is a huge step up. He'll be dealing with super elite athletes. If it was just a case of a job involving understanding how the human body works, reacts, recovers etc. and applying skills, then we'd be seeing a lot more super elite athletes. The other thing I will add is - levels.
Our new Physical Performance coach is called "Rubbin' Peters?" Are we sure we haven't signed a gay porn star by accident?
Yes they are. The ones I'm referring to anyway. I'm not talking about Bob who turns out for the Dog and Duck on a Sunday morning. If you know the definitions of 'athlete' 'super' and 'elite', professional footballers would be pretty near the top of the tree.

to elite athletes . All footballers cannot be super elite athletes if only because that means there is no elite . Footballers apart from a very small percentage are just generally athletic . Oh and this is an elite athlere please log in to view this image
I'd say top modern footballers have a pretty high standard of athleticism. They cover a wide range of physical skills: they need to sprint, jump, twist and turn and control a ball at the same time, they need stamina and body strength. Obviously not all display all of these skills to the same level, but all in all the best are on a par with many other athletic disciplines - many of which have narrower, more specialised skill-sets.
Read my comment again. I was talking about the players Slot will be dealing with. Try telling Salah he's not an elite athlete. In general terms, professional footballers are elite athletes. Z provided the definition above of what an elite athlete is which is what I said, 'if you know the definitions of elite and athlete ...'
pro footballers are not elite athletes if for no other reason there are thousands of them in the UK and that does not equate to an elite .
Just because you don't like the definition of what an elite athlete is, doesn't make it any less true.
